Darlingtons Solicitors on the Rocketlawyer panel of law firms

November 21, 2012, 3:01 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- As reported in today’s legal press, Rocketlawyer, an established US
legal documents and services brand, will be launching later this month
in the UK.

In addition to offering a range of interactive online legal documents at a very
competitive price, the company will also have a small number of selected panel
solicitors who will assist with content for the Rocketlawyer website and will offer
additional services to Rocketlawyer customers.

The fact that law firms will be working closely with Rocketlawyer means that a
customer who wants to use one of the documents on the site and has completed most of
the document but still has follow up questions or unusual requirements, will have
access to expert, discounted legal advice.

As part of the discussions and criteria for panel membership, a law firm needs to
satisfy Rocketlawyer that it has the right attitude to dealing with online legal
customers, who expect not only high quality legal advice but excellent service.
Firms must also demonstrate that they are active online and fully embrace the
importance of the internet for the future of legal services.

The discussions between Darlingtons and Rocketlawyer did not take long to result in
fruition. Both parties recognised that they have much in common and a very similar
outlook.

James Swede, Managing Partner of Darlingtons comments, “As soon as I saw that
Rocketlawyer were entering into the UK market I was interested in talking with them.
I met with Mark Edwards of Rocketlawyer just a few days later, and it only took an
hour over a coffee to quickly realise that they are the type of people we like doing
business with and vice versa. Our online presence is very important to us and we
recognise that there is big market for using online applications to make law easier
and more cost effective. Our services will compliment and enhance the interactive
documents provide by Rocketlawyer and in my view, any firm which sees interactive
legal documents as a threat has a mistaken and shortsighted approach. Not only that
but they will be swimming against a very strong tide”
